East Lansing High School is a public high school in the city of East Lansing, Michigan, United States.
The school, located about a mile north of the Michigan State University campus, was originally built in 1957 after moving from the current Hannah Community Center facility. Since the year 2000, the school has undergone remodelling with the addition of several new wings and restoration of the old ones. The construction was completed in the summer of 2005, and the remodeled school was dedicated in September 2005. The school's official mascot is the Trojan and its colors are blue and white. The athletic teams compete as members of the Capital Area Activities Conference.

Mascot: The East Lansing High School mascot is the Trojan. A theory as to why this is, is that Michigan State University's mascot is Sparty the Spartan. So going with the theme of ancient Greece, the high school decided to use the Spartans' rival, the Trojans. They fought against each other in the legendary battle of Troy in which the most likely mythical Trojan Horse was used.
